Benefits of Bamboo Floors

Hardwood Flooring made from Bamboo

Using bamboo is a cheaper version of hardwood flooring. Bamboo floorings are fire-resistant and they last for centuries. One of the reasons by bamboo is cheaper is that is grows very fast and therefore cutting it down does not upset the eco-balance. In fact you can expect to pay up to 50% less for bamboo compared to other hardwood types.

The more heat bamboos get, the darker and softer they become. Opt for lighter vertical bamboo flooring. They look more elegant and are hardier. But if you have pets and still want cheap hardwood flooring, consider stranded bamboo flooring as an alternative. Bamboo hardwood floors can either be glued or nailed.

Bamboo Flooring is Green

There are several green advantages to installing bamboo flooring including the fact that it is eco-friendly and a cheaper substitute to hardwood flooring. As a building material, bamboo is durable as well as flexible and has been widely used used in homes in Asia because it is readily available. The west has adopted bamboo flooring more for environmental reasons.

Bamboo flooring is a popular choice because of the overall ambiance it creates. As opposed to hardwood which gives a rich warm feel to the space, bamboo creates a fresh and exotic feel. Both of these flooring compliments most interior decoration and colours and are an ideal option for bedrooms, living rooms and hallways.
